Since taking over the ground in 2011, Francis Lovel & Co have given the shooting ground a complete overhaul. Tuition in the field is also available.

Installing the Pro Matic Claymate system enables all guests the benefit of an entirely flexible and unguided round. The ground is run by a team renowned for their excellent shooting knowledge and experienced instructors are on hand every day.

Due to the extreme weather we are making the decision to cancel our CPSA registered this Friday
Sorry for any inconvenience

Petition: Do not merge section 1 & 2 regulations on fi****ms licenses 16/12/2025

Petition: Do not merge section 1 & 2 regulations on fi****ms licenses Keep section 1 firearm & section 2 shotgun licensing separate. I think this would help to protect law-abiding owners, the shooting industry, & rural communities. Policies should focus on real public safety issues without burdening responsible citizens or damaging heritage & livelihoods.

So the Government has announced that they will have a public consultation on the progress of whether to make Shotguns come under the same legislation as Section 1 Fi****ms. This will be the biggest swipe at the shooting community in the last 50 years.
The shooting organisations have already prophesised that approx 40% of the Shotgun License holders will just give up and not bother renewing. The Gun Trades Associations are also thinking the same with shop closures and redundancies.
What this change of law means to us is that you will have to get permission BEFORE you purchase another
Shotgun not as now where you buy one and then register it with your local police force. You will have to seek permission to use your gun on land not already authorised to you. There will be other restrictions that have as yet not been divulged.
BUT....I hasten to add all is not lost. It is going to public consultation which means that us License holders can have a say as to why it shouldn't go ahead.
That is the easy part. The hardest part is to get EVERY person involved in any aspect of shooting to declare their support against this law change.
There are many, many thousands of people who are entitled and qualified to make their feelings know when the time comes. It is important that WE, YOU and I make sure that we spread the word amongst every facet of the shooting world.
There will only be ONE chance.
If everyone sits on their hands we will be doomed forever. The thin end of the wedge.
One of the major shooting organisations has 150,000 members. Their biggest ever vote by the membership was just 50,000 only a third. If we don't do it for ourselves, it won't get done. Copy this and paste it on your own/and your shooting sites.
Write to your local MP please.
